Today, we hung our flag. We drove downtown, honked

Today, we hung our flag. We drove downtown, honked and waved at every protester at the train station and those walking by our car. We celebrated FIFA coming to San Jose. We chatted with our incredible @mattmahansj . And then, like any normal summer day, we had our neighbors over to swim.

Because protesting, resisting, and standing up looks different for everyone.

My daughter carries fear in her eyes when we talk about protesting. This weekend, she quietly asked if I could be arrested for speaking out. Instead of attending, we drove by the protest so she could see that people were standing together peacefully — but as a mom, I didn’t want to add more fear to her world.

I’m deeply proud of my fellow Americans for showing up — in the streets, in their homes, in conversations.

And yet, like many of you, I woke today to the devastating news: two elected officials shot in their homes. A war escalating in the Middle East. Friends with family in Iran living through the unthinkable. American citizens kidnapped off our streets by ICE. It feels like the world is breaking.

I don’t have the answers. I don’t know what the solution is. But I do know this: when we stand together, when we refuse to be silent, our voices carry power. And even in the darkest moments, that matters.

@senbooker joined me to discuss the despicable scene we saw today involving this administration detaining @senalexpadilla

It’s time for us all to be courageous and to speak up!

What we witnessed today with @senalexpadilla being detained for asking a question is unacceptable.

I’m so grateful to @senbooker for joining me to discuss what we witnessed, what Senate Republicans need to do and what WE, as Americans, can do to put a stop to this.

The full interview has just gone up as a bonus podcast episode on My Simplified Life!

She doesn’t hesitate to speak up—because she knows exactly who she is and what she stands for. 💥⁠

Erika Lucas reminds us that clarity of values is where real power begins. When you know what matters to you, you stop shrinking. You start leading.⁠
⁠
This is your sign to stop playing small. Your voice matters—and the world needs it. 🎙⁠

🎙️ NEW EPISODE of Booked & Unfiltered: Read the Damn Book⁠ - Why Integrity in Book Recs Matters⁠
⁠
Yes, we went there. In this clip, I call out the fact that there are podcast hosts and bookfluencers giving book recommendations… without actually reading the books.⁠
⁠
Steph’s reaction? 👀 “How do you even curate a book list if you’re just skimming?”⁠
⁠
We’re talking about the rise of inauthentic book recs, performative reading, and why integrity matters—especially if you’re asking people to spend their time, money, and trust on your suggestions.⁠
⁠
If you care about real book talk and not just what’s trending, this one’s for you.⁠ ⁠
⁠
Have you spotted the people who aren't reading what they promote?⁠
⁠

When I first met Andrew Weiner, it was through his amazing wife, Nora Dahlia, whose novel Pick Up I featured on the podcast (and yes—she makes an appearance in his latest book!).⁠
⁠
Andrew started his career as a filmmaker, and you can feel that cinematic storytelling in the way he writes. In this episode, we talked about what it takes to create a book that speaks to both kids and adults—something heartfelt, visual, and layered with meaning.⁠
⁠
In this clip, he shares how he approaches storytelling that resonates across generations. It’s the kind of work that sparks big conversations between parents and kids—and stays with you long after the last page.⁠
⁠
🎙️ This episode of My Simplified Life is all about creativity, collaboration, and how life and art constantly feed each other.⁠

I stand with Los Angeles.

I cried watching the fires burn this great city that I once called home. Tonight I’m sitting in a state of shock and apprehension of what we are witnessing.

Neighbors who are looking out for their neighbors.

I’m praying for the safety of Angelenos and for our Governor to stand up in this very moment.

Our country is a mess and it’s only getting worse. If you haven’t spoken up yet, let this be your moment to step in. Speak up.

California has my heart. We are a strong state and we will persevere. Los Angeles, we are with you.

📚 READ THE DAMN BOOK.

There’s a trend happening in the literary world—and honestly, it’s maddening.

Book recs in 30-second reels. Stacks of pretty covers, untouched. Interviews with authors... by people who haven’t read the book.

We’re losing something important: depth.

I don’t show up like that. I read every single book of every author I interview. I cry with them. I take notes. I send the mid-read DM because something gripped me.

Because reading isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am.

Books have shaped me. Changed me. Made me. They’re my most prized possessions and the autographed ones? Oh those I hold so close to my heart that you can’t even borrow them!

This week, I’m kicking off a new Substack series on this exact topic:

READ THE DAMN BOOK.

It’s about honoring authors. Respecting podcast listeners and readers. And making book culture about connection—not content.

📰 Want the full story? Check out my Substack (link in my stories too!)

📖 Does anyone else feel this way too?
Are you craving deeper conversations about books—ones that go beyond the aesthetic and into the story behind the story and the author?

Let me know in the comments. I want to hear from my fellow readers, writers, and hosts who believe that showing up actually means something.
